I always say that the French are the unsung heroes of horror and, where this movie had its flaws, it was still great and entertaining and I stand by that statement. I really liked it. The gore was awesome, it was well shot, and the acting was amazing. It was also cool seeing a movie where men were the victims and the women actually cared about them, loved them and tried to save them. If this was made by Hollywood, I can't help but feel they would've turned it into some kind of "all man bad" bs where the girls didn't care at all, so it was nice and refreshing in that respect. Again, French cinema is badass.

Wonderful <3

I personally loved this movie. Lots of gore,I could see myself rewatching this movie though. **SPOILERS** I feel the need to give a heads up about some stuff you’ll see. It could be triggering. There’s the SA scene and there’s a scene where a rabbit is used for a sacrifice (they cut the rabbit’s throat)

Hard to believe this film is from the same chaps who gave us Inside,Livid & Among the Living,3 films i rate highly & very much enjoyed(especially Inside for the presence of the terrifying,beguilling Beatrice Dalle). Easier to believe it's from the chaps who gave us the Deep House(which was mainly awful due to the presence of Mick Jaggers son,who nobody seems to have the gumption to tell he CANNOT act). Knowing this made the experience more disappointing somehow, had i not known I would have said that was a m

I loved it and hated it, all at the same time. And there will be some spoilers included. It was very well shot, the acting was good, I loved the premise and use of Islamic mysticism, and the horror and gore were excellently done. However, most of the main cast were not likable at all, (but again, the acting itself was good). I really liked the little brother and the Rector. Another huge drawback for me was the fact that the storyline really doesn't make any sense. [Spoilers:] You get pieces of the myth, but most aren't from anything reliable, (clearly based on her graphically killing a rabbit, that I never want to see again, and that didn't do anything to stop the jinn.) Then making up a myth about a woman who killed for revenge for her husband being murdered, and who comes back to kill bad men, but then turns around and kills all your male friends and loved ones, (because she has to claim six souls.) It just doesn't make any sense. And if you're counting bodies, it was the ex-boyfriend, five male friends, and one of the girl's dad, plus the Imam. Then the summoner waits until eight people are dead, before she finally decides to end the nightmare before it kills her little brother, by killing herself. She absolutely knew it was coming for her brother, she could have at least saved the last two males. So for the fact that I found that part really dumb, the storyline just felt super off and doesn't make sense when you exam it at all, and that there was no reason to gruesomely slaughter a pet bunny, I'm only giving it three skulls. So what was good was great, and what was bad was pretty majorly flawed.
